Acknowledged.

Presumably Nvidia get around this because they dump everything into /usr/lib during the install.

If you come up with a way for us to fix this within the package (preferably other than installing to /usr/lib), I'll be happy to take a look.

Otherwise, I guess the easiest workaround, as you've identified, is to export LIBRARY_PATH in the session, or to use the nvidia installer on development machines where you will be compiling against nvidia binaries.

Obviously the reason we install to /usr/lib/nvidia is that it makes it far easier for RPM to handle files that are also present in the distro (e.g, libGL.so) that would otherwise create conflicts.

Well behaving RPM is a blessing. I think we have to live with the workarounds.

At least the issue is now documented somewhere.
